SILVER at 1830's homesite

Me and my huntin buddy Randy (randyinarkansas) have been hunting this 1830's homesite for a while now and have found some nice stuff to include: 2 large cents, several buttons, and lots of non metalic items like bone dominoes, clay pipes, and lots of other stuff, but today i finally found some silver that i knew would be there.

1838 O Half Dime without stars and in exellent condition...only 70,000 were minted i have enclosed a computer scan of the coin.

If you're going to find a half dime, that's the one to find. Great shape, good color, not a lot of milage on it. Nice.

Numismedia lists this coin at $750 in VF20 and $1200 in EF. This looks like a Banner find to me.

Thats a great find! And I don't wanna be a party pooper but on pcgs.com it states that there are 406,034 circulation strikes, so are we looking at the same coin? Heres the link I used http://www.coinfacts.com/dimes/seated_liberty_dimes/1838o_dime.htm

His says Half Dime whereas that page you linked says One Dime. Is that the difference?
